U-BOAT CREWMAN
EN ROUJEJMDA
Captive Youth Squeezes
Through Porthole On Pris
on Ship to Reach U. S. Soil
Boston. Aug. 2. JP) A nazl
U-boat crewman, recounting the
story of how he wriggled
through the porthole of a Brit
ish prison ship in the St. Law
rence river July IS and subse
quently escaped into the United
States, praised American fair
play todev.
Recalling that immigration
authorities, who took him into
custody wlen they found him
trudging down a road in north'
ern Maine, required him to ap
pear in federal district court in
Bangor, Walter Kurt Reich, 23-year-old
survivor of a sunken
German submarine, declared:
"There again I saw how fair
are Americans' In treatment of
persons. I asked to communi
cate with my consul and at once
they permitted it. The United
States commissioner at Bangor
examined the law of the case
and now here I am In Boston."
Bond Posted
He is under the supervision
of the German consulate, which
posted a bond for him, since
he has yet to deal with immi
gration authorities, who regard
him as an alien without pass
port or proper visa, despite the
fact that under international
Jaw a prisoner-of-war who es
caped to a neutral country be
comes free. He la the first prisoner-of-war
known to have es
caped to this country.
Reich, alim and blond, his
feet blistered by four days and
five nights of walking in his
quest for freedom, attributed his
successful escape to his know
ledge of geography and to his
swimming ability. He was In the
icy St. Lawrence for two hours
before he could reach land.
"Yah, that water was cold,"
he recalled with a grin as re
porters questioned him during
an interview at the consulate.
The young sailor, a machin
ists mate, said he was in a Brit
ish prison camp at Manchester,
Eng., four months before he was
loaded on a prison ship bound
for Canada. He could tell by
the sun that the course was
westward and he bided hii time
until he saw land.
Through Porthole
"Then, that night, when it
was dark, I wriggled through
a porthole," he continued calm
ly. I did it alone, with no help
or connivance. It was a tight
fit going through, but I wore
only a short, thin pants, and, on
my feet, sneakers."
"I went through head first;
that was the worst, for when
my head was through, I could
not know if some guard was see
ing my feet and coming to stop
me."
After he reached land, he
said, he hid in some woods and
waited for the sun so aa to take
his bearings. Living on black
berries and wild strawberries.
he pressed southward, ever fear
ful that he would be picked up
by the enemy, "because I know
only two or three English
words.
He was seen at one farm
house, but the occupants spoke
only French and he used his
meager English vocabulary in
such a way that they did not
suspect him, and gave
food. .

culture at Oregon State college,
made an inspection at the Pos-
ton-Hoover farms this week. Dr
George Clements of Los Angeles,
whom Dr. Poston described as
one of the greatest agronomists
in the west, is expected to in
spect the fields and threshing
process August 3.
The new legume Is apparently
native to the Kogue River valley
or was Introduced here a long
time ago, Mr. Scoth said, adding
that production had reached the
point on the Poston-Hoover
farms where a seed harvest has
become a reality for the first
time this year.
The new legume was first ob
served in the Rogue river valley
about 20 years ago by Robert
G. Fowler, county agent, Mr.
Hoover and Mr. Schoth, the
egronomlst related. The plant,
he added, has also been under
the observation of Prof. F. C.
Reimer of the southern Oregon
experiment station.
Of Wide Utility
It has proved to be a long
lived perennial, widely adapted
in utility, particularly for use as
hay and pasture for all kinds of
livestock, Mr. Schoth said, ad
ding that it makes satisfactory
growth under a rather wide
range tf climatic conditions. It
appears to be particularly well
adapted for the heavier soils
where other legumes often have
difficulty In maintaining them
selves or producing northwhile
him crops of forage, he stated.
So far, Mr. Schoth asserted,
no disease or insect depredations
have been observed. As a for-
ase. crop, he explained, it has
, almost been harvested for hay
with yields closely approaching
those of alfalfa and considerably
I above those of various other le
gumes, he said.
From the feeding standpoint,
Mr. Schoth continued, its nu
tritive value and palntability in
dicate that it is equal to other
legumes.
Desirable Feature
The agronomist looked upon
the new legume's long life as a
particularly desirable feature be
cause, once a stand is estab
lished, it will apparently remain
In production for a longer period
than any of the other legumes
grown at present.
"This lotus is a rather free
I seed producer, but the seed shat
ters very easily," Mr. Schoth
said. "This has made seed pro
duction a difficult problem and
has necessitated considerable In
vestigation to determine the
most satisfactory procedure as
to time of harvest, prevention of
loss of seed by shattering, har
vesting and preparation for mar
ket. When such methods as prac
ticed by Mr. Hoover this year
are known, it will 'give some
idea as to what these difficul
ties mean to the seed grower or
prospective seed grower. In or
der for him to reduce shattering
losses to a minimum, it was
necessary to determine within
two or three days' time the op
timum period of cutting and to
use canvas or paper bases upon
which to shock the cut material
previous to threshing. Natur
ally, such procedure and the low
seed yields will mean that seed
prices for perhaps quite a long
time will be relatively high. This
fact, however, should not deter
stockmen in particular from
using the seed for forage pro
duction." Mixture Stems Beit
Indications are that for for
age use it Is desirable to seed
lotus In a mixture with com
patible grasses, such gra.v-es de
pending on climatic and soil con
ditions. Sir. Schoth related. Tim
othy is proving satisfactory in
the Rogue valley, rye gras
seeming to be reasonably satis
factory, he said.
It was Mr. Schoth's belief that
the area being harvested for
seed this year is the largest In
the United Stairs, to date. Small I
amounts, he said, have been hnr- j
vested by hand in a few places
along the Atlantic coast and in!
the coastal sections of the F-a-'
cific northwest. J
Practically all seedings made'
so far in this country, outside the
Kngue valley, have been with 1
imported seed, mainlv from1
I France and England. Mr. Schoth i
related. Preliminary trials of,
lotus in the northwest have!
shown it to be adapted to pas
ture purposes in cimstul sections
in particular, he said.
"There has been extreme In
terest shown in this legume bv
agricultural investigative organi -I
rations and stockmen." Mr
Schoth asserted. "Now. with rio-
nestie seed available for the
first time, it will give opportu
nity for the production of tins'
.lotus on" much larger scale. The.
development nf this legume is i
another agricultural Industry to
be added to those of Jackson I
. county. I
